(Un)requited Love

5.

DAHYUN'S POV

We were all sitting in our seats and as usual Sana's friends is with us again. I guess they planned on sitting with us until we graduate. And I also think that maybe I should befriend them since we'll be seeing each other more often in the future.

But right now, I can't do any of that because of this weird ambiance surrounding us. I cleared my throat because of the deafening silence which covered us for a moment. Irene and Somi sit with us today, I introduced them to each other but it seems like some already knew the two.

Jeongyeon and Nayeon keep on eating their food not minding the two. While Tzuyu seems to be awkward with Irene sitting beside her, slightly bumping their shoulders because of the lost space between them. Lol. And there is Sana continuously glaring at me since she met the two. Ah really, what's wrong with everyone in here?

"So... It's such a small world." Somi said chuckling at Chae who was sitting beside me. I glanced at the smol bean and it seems like she was awkward because of Somi. I didn't know they knew each other tho.

"Y-yeah, I think so..." Chae mumbled and glared at me mouthing to me that it was my fault. 'And how is it even my fault?'

I took a glance at Mina who is now sipping her strawberry drink and giving this smol bean death glares. I guess she's trying to warn the smol bean on doing something. I sighed. 'Are they even dating? They act like a married couple. Eww.'

"So anyways, enough with the silence." we all looked at Irene, a little irritated because of the awkwardness. She sips the juice she ordered earlier before she spoke.

"Dubs, I heard that there will be a farewell party here before your graduation." she said looking at me. 'Finally, a topic.'

"Oh yes, the farewell week," I answered while nodding.

"And I heard you'll be participating. Right?" she asked again which caught everyone's attention. I feel everyone's eyes on me. I chuckled nervously, I really can't take a lot of audiences now. It's new for me, again.

"N-not really... I mean no not, not sure." I mentally slapped myself because of what I just said. Am I that stupid to say a single yes or no? Ughh.

I looked at Sana and she instantly gave me a 'seriously' look. Hah.

"Why? Are you hosting a program that week?" Chae curiously asked which made my two old pals chuckle.

"That's cute, but no." Somi giggled which earned a frowned-upon look from Mina.

"I'm thinking that maybe... We could... You know? Tag along. I really miss you-" Irene added but was cut because of the sudden cough from the Shiba girl. We all looked at her confused and she just looked at me with a teasing gaze. 'what is she up to?'

I shook my head.

"Sorry, just feel itchy. Go on please." she said which is kind of suspicious because it sounded like a fake cough, and motioned Irene to continue.

"I miss you play. Yeah, I miss hearing you play." Irene added. I gulped because of the idea of playing the piano again, in front of everyone's eyes in this school. I'm sure that soon after I gain that much of attention, I'll have no choice but to act again in front of everyone. Might as well hide my weaknesses which were totally tiring.

I was in deep thought when Chae tapped my shoulder.

"You're Kim Star?!" they all looked at me shocked except Irene, Somi, and surprisingly Sana isn't shocked as well. But I am more stunned than they are. I didn't catch it when Irene told them that I was once a famous pianist. I sighed as I nodded my head in response.
